<p>Hi, I am an incoming freshman at Northwestern and am signed up for BME right now. I have been debating between mechE and BME for a while now and I just simply can't decide. I am not completely sure but I may take the pre-med route. Which one of these would you say is better, in case med school doesn't work out or just to give me a better start for medical school?</p>
<p>Bme will better line up with your premed aspirations, but actually going into the field would definitely require a graduate degree. Mechanical engineering would most likely have better job prospects with just an undergrad degree.</p>
